Anom opened his eyes as he stood up. A smile hung on his face as he basked in the lingering sweetness. Removing his disguise, he placed the gang leader's attire inside a storage bag, given to him by Gamus. Anom had collected another bag from the gang leader. This one was a little better, having more space. But it only contained money and other useless stuff, which didn’t make any sense as it belonged to the leader of a gang. There should have been some treasures and precious resources at least. But Anom realized that maybe the gang leader had utilized all his resources to strengthen himself while trying to reach the next realm. 'But what was the reason for his unstable energy?' Collecting his thoughts, Anom walked towards the corner. There, a table was placed, with various documents arranged upon it. Anom shuffled through the documents, pushing the useless ones aside. After his sorting, only a few documents were left on the table. Anom picked up a big map as he clicked his tong

Anom and the girls walked till they arrived outside Crystal's house. Seeing him ready to leave, Crystal spoke, "Don't do anything reckless." Her sweet voice laced with worry made her sound like a carrying wife. Hearing her speak, Anom turned to face her with a teasing smile. "So you're worried, huh? Then giving me a good luck kiss is a must," said Anom as his face neared Crystal's. Her heart thumped, but after going through his intense 'training', her self-control had improved. Collecting her emotions, she closed her eyes while her lips moved to welcome him. "Umph!" Crystal felt a sweetness inside her mouth, but it was different from what she had expected. Opening her eyes, she saw Anom holding a golden crystal which he had put inside her mouth. *Crunch* Identifying it as one of the Golden Syrup crystals that they had raided back in the Zeru forest, she took a crunchy bite. While enjoying the delicious flavor, she made a pouty face as she looked at Anom, who was giving some cr

A smile crept behind the attacker's mask as a sensation of flesh being pierced was transmitted through the dagger. But before a sense of victory could be achieved, the person who was supposed to have his neck pierced through, turned around. Anom grabbed the masked person's arm and, with a twist, the dagger was in his hand. Letting the dagger drop to the floor, he used his empty hand to grab the masked person's leg, and with a bit of force, made his assaulter fall. "Your skill-set is good, and the timing was also quite nicely calculated." Anom started analyzing the assassin's skills. "But you are too impatient and inexperienced." His hand reached for the mask on the assassin's face while he continued speaking, "You know, information and reality might have many differences and you should act acc-" He stopped abruptly as his hand, which was holding the mask, also froze. Behind the mask was a pretty girl, glaring at him with her shapely brows furrowed. Her violet eyes moved as she tri

She opened her eyes and traced the sound to its source. What she saw had her eyes widen in surprise. She saw the man who was about to assault her holding a short blade in his hand. The blade was currently stabbed in his shoulder as blood dripped from the wound. Confusion filled her eyes as she couldn't fathom the reason he would do so. She was clearly at a disadvantage earlier, totally at his mercy. He could've taken this chance to deal with her however he liked. She couldn't comprehend why he would harm himself instead of just venting it out. She suddenly remembered him talking about not being who she thought he was. Maybe it was not all false. As her confused and somewhat relieved eyes observed him, Anom took a deep breath before pulling out the blade from his shoulder. Blood spluttered out, some of it falling on the girl's smooth cheek. The cut was not very deep but the pain was sharp enough for him to abandon the urges raging within him, giving him enough time to regain control

Anom lowered his head, resting it on the goddess' soft peaks while digesting the bunch of information she had thrown out.Taking a whiff of the divine fragrance, Anom lifted his head slightly and asked, "Did they also get affected due to my presence?"After clearing all of his doubts, the only worrying thing left was whether his soul could affect those around him or not. Even if it's unintentional, he doesn't want to keep creating deviations everywhere he goes."No, you silly thief." Della hugged his head and comforted him. "Those two are special cases. You don't have to worry about affecting anybody else. Besides, it won't be long before you gain some basic control over your soul and then you won't have to worry about something or someone affecting you either."After Della finished clearing up his doubts, they both talked for a while more as Della explained a bit more about the situation with Loreana before Anom got ready to leave."Are you sure about this though?" He suddenly asked.
